User @the.walker.twins uploaded a video on TikTok of a fellow passenger resting their bare feet on the armrest of his chair during a flight.
How he handled the situation has raised some questions, yet others say he was totally in the right.
The video began with the man’s face and then panned down to the foot resting on the arm of the chair. The annoyed and confused look on the man’s face can be seen from the video. To respond to the rudeness of the person behind him placing their bare feet on his chair, the man took a water bottle and poured some water on the person’s foot. The foot then moved away quickly, and the problem appeared to be solved as the video ended.
The video was posted on July 4, 2021 on TikTok, and it has been viewed over 12 million times since it hit the platform.

The man was praised for his actions by some people while others say he was being rude in return, and still, more people say he was not harsh enough. One person responded to the video, saying they would have poured hot water instead while another added that they would have elbowed the person’s foot to make their point.
With over 1.2 million likes, the caption of the video read: “Had to do something.” The video asked the question: “What would you do in this situation?” One person responded with a story of what they did when something similar happened to them, writing: “This happened to my daughter but the foot was beside her face. I got up and said move it now!”
This video has received almost 23,000 comments from users who were worked up over the audacity of the other passenger.
A lot of commenters praised the man for taking action against the other person. One user wrote, “Right on, I’m so tired of people and their lack of respect for others.” It could be the lack of personal space that makes people behave so badly on flights.
